Charlie knew that Yule was saying this for his own good, but he shook his head lightly and said in an incomparably serious voice, "Uncle Golding, I had only lived with my parents for eight years, which was considerably short, but my blood and soul are their creation. If I cannot avenge them, how can I live up to the blood and soul that they've given me?"
Rachel had been silent. Upon hearing this, she sighed, her eyes turning red. "Yule, Charlie's characteristics and temperament resembles Brother Wade very much. Back then, if Brother Wade could tolerate the unjust matters, he wouldn't have left Eastcliff with his wife and son so resolutely and righteously. You were unable to persuade Brother Wade then and you may not be able to persuade Charlie now."
Yule nodded dejectedly. With a long sigh, he looked at Charlie, then at Quinn, and said, "Charlie, Charlie, you can put off the other matters for a while. If you really d o want to make an enemy of the Wade family and make them pay for what they’ve done in the future, you should at least have a strong and reliable foundation first.” s
He paused for a while, and continued, "In my opinion, the first thing you must do now is to leave Aurous Hill, come back to Eastcliff, and get married to Nana. By then, even if you don't officially return to the Wade family, you'll still be my son-in-law. If I’m lucky
enough to still be alive, I'll be able to make some arrangements for you to solidify your foundation in the Golding family. You can use all the resources and connections that our family has."
Upon hearing this, Rachel nodded without hesitation and said, "That’s right! Charlie, although you're
married now, your marriage agreement with Nana had been made more than two decades before your
current marriage. So, from a certain perspective, the Wilson girl you're talking about is, in a sense,
interfering with your original marriage arrangement." 9
At this point, Rachel quickly added her remarks, "Of course, I'm not blaming her. She had nothing to do with this, after all. I'm just saying that you should marry Nana in accordance with your parents’ arrangement. As for the Wilson girl, I will prepare a billion-dollar compensation for her after the divorce. We will do whatever we can to compensate her and you don't have to feel sorry about it." 9
Charlie pursed his lips awkwardly at this moment.
Before he came to the Golding family, he was already worried that Quinn's parents would bring up the marriage agreement.
It had been so many years since the marriage agreement was established. For so many years, he and Quinn had never met, nor did they have any relationship connection.
If he were still single, he would fulfill his deceased parents' arrangement and try to start a relationship with Quinn. If he was comfortable being with her, he might as well follow their parents' orders and get married.
However, he was married now. Under such circumstances, how could he abandon Claire and be with Quinn instead? 10
Seeing Charlie’s silence, Rachel sighed and said," Charlie, I'm sure you've heard about your Uncle Golding's current health condition from Nana. Previously, we've accompanied him abroad for his treatment for a long time. Within these two days, the doctors in Oskia have found that his condition is deteriorating and are advising him to continue his hospitalization and treatment, but he is not doing very well. I'm afraid that someday..." i
At this point, Rachel started to choke when she hit the emotionally bitter moment. She wiped her tears before continuing, "Four of us decided upon the marriage agreement between you and Nana years ago. Two of us have gone, and I'm afraid that Yule cannot hold on for much longer. Your parents have passed early and they couldn't watch you two get married. I sincerely hope that your Uncle Golding won't have the same regret...” 4
Quinn, who was sitting beside them, was as still as a statue as her eyes turned red and her tears dampened her cheeks unceasingly. 6
She might be the actress who had made the whole country and the whole world madly fond of her, but right now, she was just a pitiful and helpless little girl, making Charlie feel sorry for her as he looked at her...
